Are you sure? :) Also from TFA: "During the interview, Faber also discussed Logitech's goals of doubling its business and cutting its carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2031."

I sort of wish car makers would stop being innovative. I do like the reliability and safety that modern cars provide but would like fewer bells and whistles. Affordability in both purchasing and maintaining is important to me. Just watching

You might be right but... If this world is a simulation knowing the nature might let us work with it better. Hacking the universe (maybe or maybe not if a simulation). It would in some ways just become an extension of physics (in effect). T
